PRETENDER: FOO FIGHTERS

Riff x1

VERSE

Keep you in the dark

You know they all pretend

Keep you in the dark

And so it all began

break

Send in your skeletons

Sing as their bones go marching in again

They need you buried deep

The secrets that you keep are ever ready

Are you ready?

I'm finished making sense

Done pleading ignorance

That old defense

Spinning infinity, boy

The wheel is spinning me

It's never-ending, never-ending

Same old story

CHORUS

What if I say I'm not like the others?

What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?

You're the pretender

What if I say I will never surrender?

What if I say I'm not like the others?

What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?

You're the pretender

What if I say that I never surrender?

VERSE

In time, or so I'm told,

I'm just another soul for sale, oh well

The page is out of print

We are not permanent

We're temporary, temporary

Same old story

What if I say I'm not like the others?

What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?

You're the pretender

What if I say I will never surrender?

What if I say I'm not like the others?

What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?

You're the pretender

What if I say I will never surrender?

BRIDGE

I'm the voice inside your head you refuse to hear

I'm the face that you have to face mirrorin' your stare

I'm what's left; I'm what's right; I'm the enemy

I'm the hand that'll take you down and bring you to your knees

So, who are you?

Yeah, who are you?

Yeah, who are you?

Yeah, who are you?

Keep you in the dark

You know they all pretend

CHORUS

What if I say I'm not like the others?

What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?

You're the pretender

What if I say I will never surrender?

What if I say I'm not like the others?

What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?

You're the pretender

What if I say that I'll never surrender?

CHORUS

What if I say I'm not like the others?

(Keep you in the dark)

What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?

(You know they all)

You're the pretender

(Pretend)

What if I say I will never surrender?

What if I say I'm not like the others?

(Keep you in the dark)

What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?

(You know they all)

You're the pretender

(Pretend)

What if I say I will never surrender?

So, who are you?

Yeah, who are you?

Yeah, who are you?

SITTING INSIDE MY HEAD - SUPERGROOVE

VERSE

I walk around this town

As buildings close and windows are boarded

I think about you

When I hear a door slam in the wind

And the glass on the mat says welcome

I think about you

CHORUS

Sitting inside my head,

Laughing at what I said

Come on baby

Let's have another toast

You might think I'm dense,

Laughing at my expense

Let's fill the cup

let's wash away the ghost

VERSE

In this ghost town where we live

There's a wanted poster of you on every corner

She keeps asking me 'who's that' and 'what's her name?'

But I choke on every letter,

As the glass flies off the table

I keep telling her

I ain't the one to blame

CHORUS

Sitting inside my head,

Laughing at what I said

Come on baby

Let's have another toast

You might think I'm dense,

Laughing at my expense

Let's fill the cup

Let's wash away the ghost

BRIDGE

I left when I was gone,

I didn't feel a thing

I didn't think you'd haunt me this long after

But the buildings crumble down,

As I run from the town

I hear you breathe

And I listen to your laughter

CHORUS

Sitting inside my head,

Laughing at what I said

Come on baby let's have another toast

You might think I'm dense,

laughing at my expense

Let's fill the cup

Let's wash away the ghost

VERSE/ OUTRO

I walk around this town

As buildings close and windows are boarded

I think about you

When I hear a door slam in the wind

And the glass on the mat that says Welcome

I think about you

I think about you (repeat many times)
